The variety of international cuisine is impressive, but I come here specifically for the Filipino comfort food. The portions are generous, the prices are reasonable, and the flavors are exactly what you need after a week of ship meals. I tried the Sisig and tofu with spinach, and it absolutely hit the spot. The Sinigang was equally fantastic--sour, savory, and comforting in every bite. The friendly staff and relaxed vibe make it even better. It's no surprise you'll see cruise ship staff dining here--they know where the good food is! Definitely worth a stop before or after your cruise.

What a gem to find this restaurant while walking out of the cruise port! We were hungry for…read moreauthentic Asian or Mexican food and didn't look up Yelp - we just walked around and happened to see this restaurant inside a small mall. We were seated right away, our kind server took our order. We didn't wait long at all. We settled for the Filipino dishes of pinakbet, lumpia Shanghai and steamed rice. The pinakbet which included shrimp and pork was delicious! Even though it wasn't authentic enough, no bitter melon, patis/fish sauce or sitaw/long green beans, it satisfied our palates. The lumpia Shanghai/deep fried egg roll was hot and crispy, not overly salty, and a good size roll. Initially we asked for two orders of rice, but our server said one order is enough. When the rice was brought out, I'm glad we ordered just one order. It was enough to feed four people! The ambiance of the interior is very simple, like cafeteria style. Employees are very nice. There's seating outside for about 10-15 people. This is a definite "yes!" in my book to return and dine here next time we dock in Cozumel, and we can't wait!

I got the Thai curry and it was basically a Mediterranean salad full of roma tomatoes. Ive never seen Thai curry like this.

The ambiance at the restaurant is absolutely amazing (like all of their other restaurants) but the food just tasted a little odd to me. We ordered multiple sushis thinking they would be amazing since it was one of the top things on the menu, but we don't even finish one. My husband would literally eat anything and even he was not having it. The staff as always was amazing, but that is just everywhere in the resort. They also have a couple rooms where they do hibachi grill but that requires a reservation. Highly recommend making a reservation the day you arrive since they are booked multiple days in advance. Overall, I wouldn't spend much time here and recommend visiting the Mexican restaurant or the other two restaurants by the beach.

The last place I expected good food is an Asian place in Mexico. I have to admit, I could not have…read morebeen more wrong. I'll give you the exact quote from my SO. "The fresh fish you just got in the ocean had been my favorite meal ever, until we ate here." They wouldn't let the drunk guy in the tank top in and the ambience was very nice, 2 stars for that alone. Service and drinks were on point as well. The Seared Ahi was unlike any I have ever had before. What an amazing mouthful of flavor. It was definitely an appetizer sized dish but really set the meal off on the right foot. I LOVED the Crispy Grouper with Tamarind sauce. It was crispy, flaky, flavorful and a great portion size. I was tempted to lick the plate clean it was so good. However, the Black Cod that she had was a whole other level of food. First off, I have been trying to get her to try asparagus grilled for a few months not to no avail, after trying theirs, she's begging me to do it for her. The Star of the plate though was definitely that cod. A generous piece of cod, perfectly marinated and so flaky that just picking up the layers with chopsticks allowed all the unctuous essence to hit your mouth all at once. I did not want to taste anything else after these amazing dishes but when they place their lava cake and vanilla ice cream in front of you, it's hard to say no. Even at $300 for our meal, we would definitely use that as our treat dinner for the week again. Now, if Vidanta could get their act together it would be perfect place to stay.

Another resort property restaurant that was decent but again, not the best quality food in regards…read moreto taste and authenticity compared to numerous other places. Pad Thai was very sour, orange chicken was tasty, the salmon roll was disappointing. Service and staff are always amazing and hard working, interior and ambiance are beautiful, the food just doesn't do these places justice at all. What strikes me is the inflated prices; $20 for an 8 piece roll with very thinly cut slices of fish. Generosity and getting a bargain quality is not to be expected with any of these places. It's worth more to share with friends, which is what we did.

Flavors were spot on and presentations to match. My fav dish was the Shiitake Salmon, it was cooked perfectly, so tender and full of flavor. Next up was the Chow Fan (Mixto), it included beef, chicken, shrimp and pork. Def my favorite rice dish, again packed with flavor. If you're staying at the Secrets The Vine, check them out early in your stay because you may need to eat there for a second or third time. The resort does not take dinner reservations so plan accordingly as there may be a wait after 8p.

One thing I would note is that the nigiri pieces are way too big and sit on far too much rice. The flavor is good, but the size makes them difficult to eat without having to break them apart first, which takes away from the experience a bit. The service could also improve. At one point, our server was seen adjusting his pants with his hands and then handling our plates afterward, which wasn't very hygienic or professional. Other than those things, everything else was very good and we did enjoy the food. I would still go here again and hope to see a few small improvements.

Waiters speak Spanish and English, are very friendly, and absolutely no wait for the waterfront table. The shrimp ceviche had so many shrimp with a tasty sweet sauce and avocado garnish. Guacamole was perfectly prepared, and all meals come with tortilla chips and a variety of salsas on a decorative boat tray. The tuna steak and Salmon with Lime Sauce were prepared perfectly and were both tasty and high quality. Sadly, the food was so delicious and filling we had no room to try the desserts.
